Exceptional Kibble
Overview
The Tek Quetzal is a large carnivorous variant of the Quetzal. It excels at aerial transport and combat with enhanced damage output. It can airlift smaller mounts such as Ankylosaurus or Castoroides in its claws. This makes it ideal for deploying heavy ground units across vast distances or into combat zones.
